Hey I just have a question. Some of my maps in the convo pack keep crashing to the desktop. I only have version 1.9 installed. Could you tell me all of the versions I have to install?

you only need version 1.9 for it to work. ive experienced the same problem, but for me if i play more than 2 custom maps in a row, it seems to crash to my desktop. it probably just my comp, or the fact that i have about 40 custom maps installed all at once :faint: anyways, to answer youre question, its nothing specific to the convo. pack, if you have the same problem i do, its probably just more noticable when you play the convo. pack cause theres more maps.

get pheonix patch 1.8.4, that generally works, and if you have a version of BFX that actually overwrites files, (1.0 and before) then get rid of it!

That would probably do it, I have I think four :| The SWBF Conversion Pack uses higher graphics and puts more stress on the system than the normal game so try lowering your graphics and don't play the game with 10+ maps in your list at once, play some and quite and make another game. You can download Phoenix 1.8.4 here but its not completely stable yet like Rhen Var: Harbor crashes to desktop with a Fatal error because of some testing but its worth having.

40 custom maps are fine. The Convo Pack counts as 1 map, because it's only 1 folder in the /Star Wars Battlefront II/Gamedata/Addon directory. The max you can have is 56 addon folders, so if folks have a map pack compiled into one folder (the only other one I know is Squeddie's Map Pack, which rocks) it only counts as one map.

Yeah, you also might want to get the 1.2 patch from SWBF files, it helped me play Alderaan assault.
Off-topic: Tean, does that mean you could just take all of the mod maps in your addon folder and shove them into another map's folder, or would that not work?
